Pittsburgh police issue rabid cat attack alert

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police have been warning residents to seek treatment if they've had contact with a rabid feral cat that attacked a woman and two toddlers.

Police say they captured and euthanized the cat after it attacked the woman, her daughter and nephew about 3 p.m. Friday. Both children are 3 years old.

Police say the cat attacked without provocation.

The victims have been treated for rabies at a Pittsburgh hospital.
